3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jun 23

Summary

  • Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft fell 2% to 5%, dragging the S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower even as broader risk sentiment improved on Iran.
  • Higher Treasury yields and fresh unease over AI valuations drove the rotation out of megacap growth stocks, reviving comparisons to past tech exuberance.
  • SpaceX deepened the pressure on sentiment, plunging 16% for a third straight loss and erasing $400 billion in market value in a single session.
  • Oil slipped further below $80 after Washington waived Iranian oil sanctions for 60 days, a move tied to talks that JD Vance said produced "great progress" on nuclear monitoring.
